Adding A Building Pad; Modifying Building Pads - Autodesk 256B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD Revit Structure Suite 2010 User Manual

You can add a building pad to a toposurface only. It is recommended that you create the building pad within
a site plan. However, you can add a building pad to a toposurface in a floor plan view. The pad may not be
immediately visible in the floor plan view if the view range or building pad offset are not adjusted
appropriately. For example, suppose that you sketch a toposurface at an elevation of 10 meters in a floor
plan view. You then sketch a pad on the surface at an offset of –20 meters from the surface. If the view depth
of the plan view is not low enough, you will not see the pad. See
